Radical Renaissance Women - Part II

with Alexandra Lawrence

We are all familiar with the idea of the ‘Renaissance Man’—the polymath geniuses, scholars, princes, courtiers, writers, and artists that lived and worked in the 15th - 17th centuries. But what of the women not included the traditional canon?

This series is the second part of the Radical Renaissance Women course, which revisits Renaissance society by looking at some of the less traditional and more radical figures in Italy at the time: the creative and powerful women whose names have been left out of the mainstream history books. We will delve into the lives and works of nearly twenty Renaissance women whose fascinating lives are sure to surprise and inspire.
